Made this and it came out OK, but broth was a bit to watery. Ended up adding a can of cream of mushroom to help boost the flavor. If I did it again would substitute 2 cups of beef stock for some of the water.

My family liked this. My husband likes spicier foods, so it was good for him, but it wasn't too spicy that my kids wouldn't eat it.

I just finished making this recipe and all I can say is wow! I made it "as is" except for cutting back on the cayenne a bit. It was a new twist on potato soup and the whole family raved. Thanks for a new staple in my house. Update: I found that putting some of the cooked potatoes in the blender and adding them to the soup made for a thicker base!

We really like this. If you want it to be spicy, you probably have to add more cayenne.

Didn't love this one at all. It was pretty peppery, and the sausage didn't add anything for me.

I really liked this! It's very simmilar to Olive Garden's soup. Omitted the cayenne, because using hot Italian sausage added plenty of heat. Left the skin on about half of the potatoes, used broth instead of water, added a little chopped carrot, celery, and spinach. Pushed a potato masher through it a couple times to thicken it up. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because my husband didn't like it, so I probably won't make it again.

This is really comparable to Zuppa Toscana. Where are the water measurements? I used chicken broth anyways, but that would be helpful. Tasted good anyways.

Loved this soup. Perfect meal for a chilly spring day. I did not have any Italian Sausage, so used regular sausage meat and added some Italian spices to the soup. Both my husband and I love it and will serve it often.

I have changed this a bit and the way I changed it gives it 5 stars, but as written I think it is a 4...just my humble opinion ;) I use 1/2 and 1/2 instead of the evaporated milk, I cut the the butter all together and I throw in a handful of crumbled bacon. I also use chicken stock instead of water to cover the potatoes when in the pot. Made this way it is delicious!!!

This is an excellent winter soup! It reminds me of the sausage soup that Olive Garden serves. I minced my garlic and onion and cooked them for a minute or two in olive oil. I then added the sausage and proceeded with the recipe as stated. My family went back for seconds.

Loved this. Added a bit more cayenne because I like it hot! Next time might try with crumbled ground turkey or turkey sausages to reduce the fat.

Loved this soup. I used chicken broth instead of water. I also cut the cayenne to approx 3/4 T since I used hot italian sausage. I also added a box of chopped spinach. Will make again.

I thought this soup was very good, it just didn't 'wow' me. I re-sized it for 6 servings, then followed the recipe exactly. I agree with some others that the soup turned out too watery. And, despite the spiciness (which my family liked) it seemed to be lacking...something; I'm not sure what. Maybe next time I'll add some crumbled bacon. Overall a good soup, which I will probably make again.

We really enjoyed this soup! I did add chopped kale at the end, more for nutritional value and color than for trying to mimick a chain restaurant soup. We're not big on red onions so I substituted for white, added lots more black pepper and skipped the butter. We served this hot with crusty bread and it was super yummy for the winter chills!

I didn't care for this at all. Way too watery. Even if I had thickened it I don't think I would like it any better. I knew it was supposed to be spicy, but even after cutting down the cayenne considerably, with the pepper it was just too overpowering. Aside from the spice it was rather bland. Maybe using veggie or chick stock instead of water would improve it. I even added celery and carrots and it still seemed kinda bla. Just wasn't the right soup for me.

The only thing that made the soup special was the sausage - I'd rather save that meat for an Italian dish than waste it in potato soup again. Everyone ate it, but we will not make it again.

My husband loved this and raved about it to friends weeks later. A little spicier than I like but as I said he loved it. Actually, my 2 year old ate a lot of the potatoes from the soup so I will add more potatoes just for him next time!
